About this wine

Aux Boudots lies at the northern end of Nuits-Saint-Georges, where the appellation meets Vosne-Romanée. Its wines tend to combine the sturdy frame of Nuits with some of the perfume and elegance of Vosne. Leroy's version is concentrated and firmly structured, with dark fruit and spice, and it needs time in bottle to soften and show its complexity.

About Domaine Leroy

Domaine Leroy is the estate of Lalou Bize-Leroy, whose family firm Maison Leroy in Auxey-Duresses has long been one of Burgundy's great merchant houses, and who for many years shared the direction of the Domaine de la Romanée-Conti. In 1988 she bought the Domaine Charles Noëllat in Vosne-Romanée, which became the core of Domaine Leroy.

The estate has been farmed biodynamically from the start, and yields are kept exceptionally low. Its holdings run from village sites to some of the greatest Grands Crus of the Côte de Nuits, and its wines, made in small quantities, are among the most sought after in Burgundy.
